How does the Death Star move?

Well, space is a vacuum so I'd assume all it'd need is an initial push and it'd keep going on its own. Occasional engine bursts to course correct and that's why it doesn't need constant engines. Battleships need to course correct constantly in a fight and smaller ship keep constant engine thrust for maneuverability. The Death Star is just a gigantic tank; it can't maneuver, it can't move very fast (in relation to other ships, laws of physics in space would assume it moves VERY fast), and assuming it's laser cannon has zero recoil from firing it just floats like a gigantic behemoth from point A to point B with zero weaknesses, save for it's Achilles's heel.
Other possibilities include burgeoning special effects and not thinking too hard.
Alternatively, the universe moves around the Death Star, not the other way around. Like Chuck Norris! ^_^

What comment number 13 said is right. It could of also potentially used the force to an extent but I am not sure on that.
If the Emporer can move moons at light speed with the force then why would he need a battlestation, He could just smash a moon into a planet to destroy it or was he just trying to show off.Old Trailmix said:
when darth vader goes to the bathroom, any extra "force" that puts into that effort is suficient to move the death star.
Yes, and answered by those people who dwell in the deepest and darkest of basements. Those people who sacrifice their lives and social skills so that people like you and I may, when faced with a conundrum, go to the internet, click a link, find the answer, say "wow i never knew that/how interesting!" and then go back to living our lives. Bless those cheetos loving souls, bless them :'-(THEAFRONINJA said:
I thought it was that the eagles had weaker minds then men/hobbits so if they were near the ring they would be corrupted by it and turn it over the the Big bad men.Flee the Cities said:
OT: I really don't know but I do have another question.
When firing the laser, why didn't the Death Star rocket backwards due to the force from the laser? surly it would just fire it rearwards insted of the laser firing forwards?
This is clearly how:
Just hook that bad boy up to a space propeller in the exhaust vent and away you go!
Or maybe all those TIE fighters in the hangars are docked with their engines on?

It's fascinating how they have a Wiki for everything, Star Wars included! [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Star]
Facilitating the Death Star's realspace propulsion were a network of powerful ion engines that transformed reactor power into needed thrust. In order for the Death Star to be a deadly threat, it needed to be mobile. Using linked banks of 123 hyperdrive field generators tied into a single navigational matrix, the Death Star could travel across the Galaxy at superluminal velocities. The incredible energies harnessed by the station combined with its great mass gave the Death Star magnetic and artificial gravitational fields equal to those found on orbital bodies many times greater in size.
